The Smart Girl.

There was once tailor who had
beautiful daughter; all the young men
from far and near came to visit her BE-
cause of her beauty. Two rivals sought
her one day, and said;
at is on your account that VIC have
come hither."
"What do you want of me'" she re-
piled, smiling.
1--WE love you," returned the two
young men. land each OF US wishes to
marry you"
The maiden, being well brought up,
called her father, who listened &c the
two lovers, and then said;
1T is late, 60 home now, but come
again to morrow; and you shall then
know which of you may have my
daughter.
At daybreak the next morning, the
two Young men returned. Here VIC
arein they cried to the tailor; ''remem-
Ter what you promised yesterday"
wait a little, he replied II am go
ing to town to buy piece of cloth; when
return home with it, you shall legrn
what l expect from it"
When the tailor returned from town,
he called his daughter, and on her ap-
pearauce, he said to the young men:
my children, there are two Of you,
and have but one daughter. To whom
shall give her, Whom must refuse,
Behold this piece of cloth; will cut
from 1t two suits of clothes exactly
alike: each one of you must sew one Of
them; he who finishes his task first shall
have my daughter
Each of the rivals took his task, AMI
prepared to set about it; the father
called his daughter, and said to her:
''Herc is the thread, make it ready for
the two workers"
The maiden obeyed her father, and
taking the bundle OF thread, seated her
self near the young men.
But she was as clever as she was beau
tiful; though her father did not know
which Of the two she loved, nor the
young men themselves, she knew well
enough. The tailor went away, the
maiden prepared the thread, the young
men took their needles and began TO
sew. To the one she loved the beauty
gave short needlefuls, but to the other
she did not love she gave long needle
fuls. They sewed and sewed, in eager
haste; at il o'clock the work was not
half done, but at ) the young man who
had short ncedlefuls had completed his
task while the other had yet much to do.
When the tailor returned the con-
queror brought to him the completed
suit, while his rival still sat sewing.
"My children, - said the father, ~ did
not wish to favor one more than an
other. that was why l divided the cloth |
into two equal parts, and told you: HE
who finishes his task first shall have my
daughter Did you understand meln
Father, replied the two young men,
I'VE understood you, and accepted the
tess, what must be, must
The tailor had reasoned thus: ''He !
who finishes first will lie the most skill /
full workman. and consequently better
able TO support n wife" but he never
imagined that his daughter would give
long needlefuls to the man she did not |
wish to marry. Cleverness carried the
day, and the maiden really chose her
own acknowledgement Republican.

Producing a beautiful Plane.

A vessels old shesthing, which has
been covered with yellow metal or cop
per, makes a most beautiful flame of diff
ferent colors when burned in an open
crate. Years ago this wood was con-
sidered worthless, and was usually given
away to poor people for fuel But of
late years it has been used quite exten
sively in New Redford and vicinity, be-
ing placed upon other wood or coal, when
the flames present a beautiful sight, pro-
du ing different colors, which shoot
forth from the copper nail holes. Per
sons who visited New Bedford and saw
the beautiful effects produced by burn
ing this wood carried some to their homes,
and now the demand for old sheathing
is greater than the supply.-Nss BED ,ord

W0MAN'S WORLD.
PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR
FEMININE READERS


Young people in Italy do not begin
courtship until their relatives have
haggled and bargained, and settled all
the preliminaries. Then the young man
is introduced to the young woman, ana
they are told to fall in love with each
other.
The following story, told by an Eng
lish lady married to an Italian noble
man, was narrated 10 her by mother
who had several manageable daugh-
tiers
An elderly suitor, signor D., called
upon her one day 10 consult about WOO
ing her daughters. for though he intend
ed to marry only one, his SUIT was
adore sed to them all.
Il am constrained by circumstances
to take wife, - he began.
Il am sorry to hear, signor, that you
arc constrained to take slch a step; but,
though 1t is against your will, have no
doubt you can find 4 suitable person,
answered the mother, not seeing at what
he was driving.

charming; and being constrained by

A Matter Of Weight.

According to the Belgian savant,
Quetelet, a man attains his maximum
weight about his fortieth year, and be-
gins to lose it toward his sixtieth year.
A woman, however, does not attain her
maximum weight until her fiftieth year.
The weight of persons of the same age
IN different classes of society also differs.
In the ailueut classes the average maxi
mum weight is one hundred and seventy
two pounds, and it is attained at fifty
years of age. In the artisan class it is
one hundred and iifty-four pounds, at
tanned at forty. Among the laborers it
is one hundred and seventy-one pounds,
attained at sixty. In the general classes
it is one hundred and sixty-four pounds,
and it is reached between forty and fifty
years of age.

The Sources Of Great Rivers.

Most people have probably heard the
story of the housein Ohio which is said
to be so exactly balanced upon the boun-
Diary line between the basins of the great
lakes and the Ohio River that the Iain
fallingupon one side of the gib'e roof goes
10 join the St. Lawrence and the ocein.
! while on the other side it helps to swell
little brook that finally minglcs with
the Ohio and the Gulf. There is a more
wonderful place than this in India. Al
most 500 miles due west of Calcutta is
the Ammerkantak Mountain, which is
place of great sanctity in the eyei Of the
Hindoos, owing to the remarkable fact
that it is the source of one of the large
rivers of India, and of feeders Of three
other rivers that are among the greatest
in the peninsula. The torrents thatho
down its sides travel to all the carolina;
points of the compass. The Nerbudda,
which takes its ii here, winds its way
over 500 miles of plain before it emu.
into the Indian Ocean. The three ot.as5r
great rivers that are fed from Ammer-
kantak are the Fodavery, the Mahan-
uddy and the Some.
The natives OF India have a great rev.
erence for the sources of q number of
their largest rivers, whose waters by
means of irrigating works are often used
in times OF drought to nourish the soil
and prevent or mitigate famines. The
Godavery. the most important river in
South India. takes its rise in a brook that
issues from hillside near the village of
NasSik. The spot where this brook
glshes from the rock is approached by
fight of 800 stone steps, at the top of
which is great stone platform built at
the foot of the rock from which the
stream issues An image under a large
canopy has been so placed that the water
pours out of its mouth and then goes
sparkling down the hill. From this spot
the stream flows 800 miles right across
the peninsula, growing on the way into
q mighty river and draining 100, 00Q
square miles. The source of the Coda
very is one of the sights of the Bombay
Presidency.
One little stream, whose waters flow
from river to river until they finally Join
the Amazons, runs for ten or fifteen miles
by the side of one of the sources of the
great Paraguay. Though they fow par
allel to each other, and only two or three
miles apart, they run in opposite direc-
tions. Canoes are often hauled across
the Intervening portage and in this way
it is possible for 4 small boat TO travel
from the mouth of the Amazons to Bue-
nos Ayres along the inland waters OF
South America, and with a portage Of
only two or three miles.-Neir FORK sun.

Fashion Notes.

Silver is much used as decoration for
evening dresses.
Bisque color with any of the new
shades of green is very stylish.
A long drapery of soft silk is worn as
trimming and overdress with cashmere
costumes for the house.
Mauve, so long a neglected color, is
once more fashionable. 1t is especially
favored for house toilets.
An English oddly is the use Of jet
passementerie on cloth costumes, particu
larry those of a green color.
Boas should be tied on the side and
front o-er one shoulder. A bow of
ribbon makes the prettiest fastening.
Bead work is becoming popular
kind of fancy work, but to be correct
it should be done with care and taste.
Plain velvet skirts in the new shade OF
plomb, with draperies of vigogne of the
sane shade, are much favored for street
wear.
The best and most economical black
silk is fine twilled texture. 1t will not
pull in the waist seams, and gives pref
ty lustre.
What are known as Swiss belts are
generally worn by young ladies' with full
blouse waists. style very becoming to
slender figures.
Double finished cloths with a dark
color on the outside and bright one for
the lining make very stylish wraps and
cloaks for children.
Soft gray camel's hair is favorite ma
terial for dressy house wear, and striped
wool in gay eolors, or velvet or plush,
are generally chosen as accessories.
Plated colored satin is sometimes
worn in dress bodies, in place of collars
and cuffs of linen Only an edge is
shown, and the pleating is very close.
It is the fancy of the hour that nothing
should be worn about the throat in the
evening. Sometimes a string of pearls or
ieweled necklet may he seen. but it is
quite the exception, the neck as a rule
